Li Jiancheng's eyelids raised slightly.
"Is... Yuanji here?" he asked drunkenly.
"No, it's the horse-washing man Wei Zheng who is here. He said he has something to ask to see His Highness the Crown Prince." The father-in-law who conveyed the message slightly raised his voice and repeated it.
"oh……"
Li Jiancheng's eyelids drooped again.
I saw him wave his hand feebly.
"Tell...tell him to go back."
Li Jiancheng struggled to support his heavy head and said vaguely,
"Everyone go, everyone go!"
"Don't come to me, let me be happy for a few more days, be happy for a few more days..."
Gudong, Gudong.
At this moment, it seemed that he only had the strength to drink.
He didn't want to do anything but numb himself with alcohol!
"this……"
The messenger father-in-law looked troubled and was about to say more, but was stopped by the person behind him.
"No need to announce any more, go and prepare a bowl of sobering tea."
The firm and steady voice reached the ears, which inexplicably gave people a feeling of peace of mind.
"Yes, Mr. Wei."
After passing the news, the father-in-law sang "Nai", turned around and left.
Thumb thump.
Thumb thump.
Wei Zheng walked step by step into the brightly lit hall.
The dancers danced tirelessly, and the musicians worked hard to continue playing.
"Everyone, please step back."
Wei Zheng waved his hand.
As if they had been granted amnesty, all the dancers and musicians bowed to the prince in the palace and left in a hurry.
In an instant, everything was silent except for the two of you, Your Highness.
One person sits and the other person stands.
Li Jiancheng seemed not to have seen Wei Zheng. At this moment, he no longer cared about appearance. Only the jade liquid and fine wine in his hand was his life-saving medicine.
Gudong, Gudong.
The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth and hung on his chin for two seconds, then splashed and wet the brocade robe.
Snap, snap.
A strong smell of alcohol emanated from the robe, and even Wei Zheng could smell it from a distance away.
"Your Highness, do you plan to go to court like this tomorrow?"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng's depressed look and couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a deep voice,
"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you, or that the officials will impeach you, or that the prince will be impolite and immoral?"
boom!
A wine bottle was kicked over by Li Jiancheng and stained the carpet.
"ha……"
Li Jiancheng shook his head, seeming to laugh at himself, and also sneered sarcastically,
"Blame? Impeach?"
"What am I afraid of? What do I have to be afraid of... Come on, tell me!"
"What's more serious than being deposed? Being imprisoned? Being killed?"
Suddenly, his expression changed and he said harshly:
"Then just ask him to imprison and kill him!"
"I am Li Jiancheng, I... Li Jiancheng..."
"Don't be afraid!"
boom!
With a flick of his sleeve, another pile of bottles and cans were dumped, making a clanging sound, and the wine flowed horizontally.
The maid on the side looked distressed.
I'm afraid this carpet won't be usable...
Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng's madness at this moment, but there was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
If His Highness the Crown Prince were truly not afraid, he would not be living in a state of intoxication here.
He was scared to death! I used alcohol to numb myself.
"I really don't understand. Why is Your Highness so depressed? Is this blow to you so severe?"
Wei Zheng stepped forward slowly, holding a cup of sobering tea that had just been delivered to him, and came to Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng glanced at Wei Zheng with narrowed eyes.
"Huh...don't you understand?"
"Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?!"
He said coldly,
"Now everyone is trying to sever ties with me, for fear of getting involved in this major rebellion!"
"Even my dearest brother, King Qi, is afraid of avoiding me. I invited him many times, but he didn't come!"
"Wei Zheng...what are you here for? Come to comfort me and show your loyalty?"
"No need, no need..."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand feebly.
"If you still want an official career, you should end your relationship with me as soon as possible... By tomorrow, maybe I will no longer be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, or a commoner, or a prisoner..."
"My father is going to make his second brother the crown prince soon, so you'd better go ahead and... go and fawn over him, go ahead..."
When Wei Zheng heard this, his expression was a little helpless, but his eyes were a little softer.
This prince is a bit stupid, but his kindness is also genuine.
This is one of the reasons why he assisted Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that you will never be deposed tomorrow!"
Wei Zheng said loudly,
"You are still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor!"
"I, Wei Zheng, assure you that this is definitely not a consolation, but a fact!"
Li Jiancheng felt a sudden change in his heart.
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Wei Zheng's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw!
"How to say?!"
"Drink this bowl of sobering tea first, otherwise it will be difficult for us to communicate." Seeing that he was anxious, Wei Zheng knew that those two sentences had an effect, and he raised the tea bowl in his hand unhurriedly.
Li Jiancheng grabbed it and drank it in one gulp.
A cool feeling entered my stomach, and I woke up a little.
"You've finished drinking, please tell me quickly!" Li Jiancheng urged.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard gently and said calmly:
"Since His Majesty was imprisoned in Renzhi Palace, he has not been familiar with the outside world. Of course, His Majesty's intentions are unclear, and naturally no one dares to tell you."
"You just returned to Chang'an and returned to the East Palace in a daze."
"Actually, several big things have happened in the past few days!"
Li Jiancheng listened attentively and nodded repeatedly.
After he was dismounted from Renzhi Palace and imprisoned, he lived on food and water all day long. He didn't even have a chance to redress his grievances to his father face to face, so he was in constant panic all day long.
But two days later, his food suddenly returned to normal and became the standard that a prince should have. Then, he was stuffed into a carriage by the guards and drove all the way back to Chang'an and to the East Palace.
Everything seems to be back to normal, but it seems completely different again!
His confidants Wang Gui and Wei Ting were nowhere to be found, and when asked, they all gave vague answers.
He wanted to go out, but was told that His Majesty had an order and he could not go anywhere these days.
I wanted to ask my fourth brother Li Yuanji to ask, but the invitations came to nothing with no answer...
All of this gave Li Jiancheng a terrifying thought, especially tonight when his father suddenly announced that a court meeting would be held tomorrow, which reached the extreme level of panic!
He was convinced that he would be labeled as a rebel and be destroyed!
So I was drunk and dreaming, so I finally indulged...
It wasn't until Wei Zheng came that he suddenly woke up!
yes! What happened these days! Where will his fate go? !
Even if you die, you shouldn't be a fool!
"Your Highness, don't be impatient. Please allow me to speak slowly."
Wei Zheng sat on the soft couch and said slowly,
"First, His Majesty the King of Qin, on His Majesty's orders, sent troops to Qingzhou with the Emperor's Talisman to put an end to the Yangwen-Qian rebellion!"
“Wherever King Qin went, the rebels immediately turned their backs and surrendered, and he even went all the way to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion!”
Li Jiancheng looked shocked, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart...
